AK50!!!!!!!!!

It still utilizes the basic long piston design of the a standard AK, and it will accept standard AK furniture, including the stock and pistol grip. It was even mentioned that it could use the standard fire control group. A couple of other changes are the addition of quick release pins to the gas tube and a hinged dust cover. The components will mainly be a mix of 4140 steel and milled aluminum (and Brandon stressed that “there will be no cast parts”).

I'd like to see how they'd get a laminated AK lower handguard to fit around a .50cal barrel as there isn't a lot of clearance with a standard 7.62 barrel.

If one got working regardless of issues, would you still want to at least fire it? Just to see you don't like it? ;)
